Any other Pistonheads members going to the first GT race of the season at Donnington on the 5th & 6th April? We will be cheering on the Tuscan R's and waving TVR flag when i find it. No Speed 12 or Lister this year though. Chimaera S3TAY.

Yep, will be there cheering on Rod and Jan in the Tuscans, and Steve Moore and Speedy7 in the GT Porsche (look out for Steve's crash helment - my daughter designed it ) even if Steve has defected away from TVR Still gives me more people to cheer on

The Essex Posse will be there on the Saturday and the Sunday. Look out for a yellow Cerbera, a purple and a yellow Chimera, a Tuscan and a blue Griff. Shouldn't be too hard to spot.

Well the Hucknall boys (and girls ) will be there as usual, Saturday and Sunday, usually parked anti-socially away from all the other TVR's just because we like to be able to see the track from the comfort of the cars
Look out for us either infield at Redgate, opposite the last corner onto the start finish straight, or up on the hill at Copse
Look out for the Green Chimaera, Orange Tasmin, Orange Cerbera, and the Black S

Don't think you can camp infield, usually camping is in the field opposite the exibition centre, where the toilet block is

Those of you that make the trip to Donington a few times during the year may be interested in joining The DPRAC you will get free access to the track on Saturday qualifying (yes I know it's a bit late now) but there are other savings though out the year including completly free race days with hospitality, and thats not even mentioning the free track evening, even if it is only a few laps behind the fire car it's still a fun night.
They even supply the trophy for the Tuscan race and it's all in a good cause
